Are offline messages erased (overwritten) when cleared? #43

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

Queused offline messages .txt file is a security concern if it is not 
erased (made unrecoverable) when cleared. In addition, the option to clear 
it should pop up when closing TorChat.

fixed in trunk (r331 + r332). Also incoming temporary files (file transfer) are 
now always wiped before unlinking, every os.unlink() in the whole application 
has been replaced.

This may overwrite the files, however it causes a nice cpu spike which when 
dealing with large files locks torchat up from doing anything.

you are right, i didn't test with really big files. I have improved it a lot in 
the current svn, its now doing this in a separate thread and also a bit faster 
because the previous method of generating a few MB of random numbers (only one 
byte at once) was really quite CPU wasting.
